Cream Cracker

Re: Irish slang/sayings and their meanings
 

That's a good one. I never heard it used to describe a Knacker though. Only when people are exhausted they would say; I'm cream crackered.
More people seem to be calling them Pikeys rather than Knackers these days.
My parents generation always called them Gypos or Tinkers.
They like being called Travellers or Pavees though.
Here are some more I thought of:
Muck savage (Country person)
Culchie (Country person)
Bogger (Country person)
On the rip (Drinking session)
On the tear (Drinking session)

What's a gomie ? Is it short for gombeen?

Yes, a gomie is a gombeen.
Also sometimes just a gom.

Here's some I heard here;

I wouldn't ride her into battle.
I wouldn't ride her if she was the last bike in town and she had pedals on her.
She had a face on her like a bag full of mickeys.
And referring to a woman having trouble parking her car;
she wouldn't drive a stake in a bog.
